Engine Diagnostics & Management

What is a car diagnostic test?

Most cars today rely on a variety of sensors and electrics in order to keep them operating safely whilst ensuring that emissions are reduced to a minimum. The sensor systems in modern vehicles are becoming increasingly complex in part due to the increasing pressure that the government is placing on manufacturers to cut down on emissions. Although vehicles are now more advanced than ever, the introduction of these complex systems can mean that there is a higher chance that things can go wrong more frequently.

Vehicle diagnostics involves the use of advanced digital equipment that connects to your vehicle’s ECU. Our ATA-trained technicians use this equipment to read your vehicle’s data to find exactly what issues may be happening under the hood.

Is the amber engine management light illuminated on your dashboard? Don’t panic! Call Uckfield Motor Services and we’ll get it sorted.

If you’ve noticed a warning light on your dashboard, then it’s best to get it looked at sooner rather than later. The engine management light is like an early warning system that lets you know that there’s a problem and the whole point of it is to let you know early enough for you to get it sorted before it has the chance to become a bigger, potentially costly problem. What’s more, many drivers are unaware that lights on the dashboard can lead to automatic MOT failures (this applies to warning lights such as your seat belt, light and traction control light).

However, if the engine management light is red, this suggests a more immediate, serious problem. In this case, pull over when it’s safe and give Uckfield Motor Services a call.

At Uckfield Motor Services, we have invested in all the latest diagnostics software which our team of technicians use to accurately identify the source of the problem and get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.
